Some people may know or may have read the reasons I created Love Ur Dog, the main reason was my love for dogs and also for my boys, Dexter And Colin, Colin sadley passed away just before we opended the hotel due to heart failure at a young age (something i am still getting over)- Dexter (my best friend) who has been with me for eight amazing years, and been through so much together passed away at 5pm yesterday. Dexter became poorly in March and was found to have cancer tumors in various areas of his body, due to the pandemic and dexters issues no hospitals could or were willing to take the case on, however thankfully Noel Fitzpatric did and after 8hrs of intensive surgery managed to remove all the tumours - however some of the cancer had spread into his lungs and were very aggresive and would not respond to medicines, Thanks to Noel's team Dexter lasted a happy 6 months, but sadley the cancer caused Dexter to pass away yesterday........................ I am not sure it has fully sunken in yet, but it literally feels like my world has just fell apart around me, I am lost without you by myside, heartbroken, I will never forget you my beautiful boy.

So how are we getting on, well its been truly amazing, thousands of people have walked through the doors over the last 6 months with some of the most amazing doggies of all breeds and all ages and everyone is stunned when they see the quality and the care we give.
We have had our challengers, from taking care of poorly post opp customers who have needed round the clock one on one care, to cooking Christmas Dinner for 50 Doggies and a New Years Party severing pawseco and doggie beer till the early hours of the morning.
We have hired and trained eight new staff who are fantastic team members bringing our total staff up to eighteen, we were lucky enough to have been chosen by pot noddle to film their latest online campaign at the hotel (lots of fun) and the short film has now received over 1 million views !!!
Summer is going to be very busy - were almost fully booked and Christmas is also booking up fast, its going to be a busy year.
What Next ? Well we are currently considering building an extension to the hotel, the extension will be for a 50msq indoor heated swimming pool with raising floor for swimming lessons and play time for all our guests.
I keep getting asked are their any down sides to the job ? - the place is amazing surely there can not be ? - Well there are, stupid as it may sound but you get attached to the guests, especially those who are with us for several weeks, and when they go home, well its nice for them to see their parents but we all miss them when they go, I miss them so much i have had to go and visit a few guests at their homes and take them treats and say hi ! until next time Scott Williams CEO Love Ur Dog x
